Nov 09, 2018The Denver Nuggets won nine of their first 10 games in large part because of their defense. It has been a focus for this season, and it seems to be working well, and it was on point in Memphis on Wednesday.It was the offense that was lacking in an 89-87 loss to the Grizzlies.The good news for the Nuggets (9-2) is they are heading home, where they are 6-0 and have no trouble scoring. They host the Brooklyn Nets, who have won two straight and three of their last four. Denver will try to turn rebound from a loss in which it shot 39 percent and scored 17 points in the fourth quarter.The goal is keeping the defensive effort the same."My hope is that as the year goes on, our defense remains a constant," Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after Wednesday's loss. "It's an anchor to our team no matter what's going on on offense." The goal is keeping the defensive effort the same.Improving on the offense might prove surprisingly tough against a resurgent Nets team. Brooklyn (5-6) has allowed 89.5 points over the last two games -- both blowout wins, and is getting contributions from all over the floor.That balance has made it difficult for Kenneth Faried to get on the floor, and it is unlikely he'll see many -- if any -- minutes against his former team. Faried, Denver's first-round pick in 2011, was known as an energy player and a favorite with Denver fans, but he fell out of the rotation last season.He played 32 games and averaged 14.4 minutes, losing playing time to Mason Plumlee and Trey Lyles. Last summer the Nuggets sent him, Darrell Arthur and two draft picks to Brooklyn in what essentially became a salary dump. Faried is making $13.7 million in the final season of his contract.He hasn't been able to crack the rotation in Brooklyn. Coach Kenny Atkinson said preseason ankle surgery set back Faried's development."It's a situational thing," Atkinson told The New York Post. "The other guys have got to start playing badly for him to get a chance. He's been great, he understood that and been a man about it." Faried has said he is more concerned about the team's success than his own and he is just waiting for his opportunity."I know all the plays, I know what we're supposed to do, I know everything as far as basketball goes," Faried told The New York Post. "I've just got to wait for the opportunity and when your number is called. So I'm just waiting for that." The Nets might rightly be building for the future but after Denver's fast start, the future is now. The team revolves around center Nikola Jokic, who is a dynamic 7-foot playmaker but has inexplicably been reluctant to score lately. He averaged 21.6 points in October but his offense has disappeared in November.He has taken only 18 shots in four games, and the only one he took in Memphis was a missed 3-pointer in the final seconds that would have won it.Before the game, he was hit with a $25,000 fine for a derogatory joke made after a win in Chicago on Oct. 31.The Nuggets aren't panicking. Even with Jokic's quiet offense, the team is 3-1 in November and is in the midst of playing six of seven games at home. Jokic is still making a difference, averaging 7.8 assists in the last four games.

Nov 09, 2018DENVER Caris LeVert hit a floater in the lane with 0.3 seconds left and the Brooklyn Nets scored the last six points to beat the Denver Nuggets 112-110 on Friday night.The Nets overcame a big bounce-back night from Denver's Nikola Jokic to win their third straight. In an offensive funk for the last four games, Jokic had a season-high 37 points and tied his career best with 21 rebounds.It wasn't enough to prevent Denver's first home loss of the season.Jokic took only one shot Wednesday night in a loss to Memphis, a 3-pointer in the final seconds that would have given Denver the win. He took only 18 shots in the first four games of November but topped that before the end of the third quarter.He had 11 points in the first quarter and a double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds at halftime.Denver appeared to take control after Jokic blocked Jarrett Allen, grabbed the rebound and fed Malik Beasley for a layup and a 108-106 lead with 1:23 left. After a Brooklyn miss, Paul Millsap's two free throws made it a four-point game.The Nets tied it with 29 seconds left and Jokic was called for traveling with 22 seconds left.LeVert got the ball up top and was blanketed by Gary Harris. He broke through the tight defense to get into the lane and hit a soft lob to give Brooklyn the win.D'Angelo Russell led the Nets with 23 points, and Allen had 18.TIP-INSNets: DeMarre Carroll scored nine points in 14 minutes in his season debut. He missed the first nine games following right ankle surgery. ... The Nuggets played a short tribute video for Kenneth Faried's return to Denver. Faried was traded to Brooklyn after seven years with the Nuggets.Nuggets: Denver attempted two free throws in the first half and 32 in the second half. ... Harris scored a season-low four points. It is the first time in 12 games he hasn't scored in double figures.GOT YOUR BACKDenver head coach Michael Malone defended Jokic for his comments last week that drew a $25,000 fine from the NBA. Jokic's was dinged for his use of a gay slur after a win in Chicago on Oct. 31.''There's so many things being said about this poor kid, and I understand some of it,'' Malone said. ''Those of us who know him, give the kid a break. He made a mistake, he paid for it, get off his back a little bit. He's a great kid, he loves everybody and meant no offense to anybody. He's going to be fine and let the kid be a 23-year-old young kid who's going to have a great, great future in a Nuggets uniform.''
